Summary

Adept in both creative and construction environments, I leveraged my problem-solving skills and attention to detail at GVL Investments to enhance worksite efficiency and safety. As a tattoo artist, I also honed client communication, contributing to the successful operation of The Black Mark studio. My portfolio spans from framing construction to bespoke tattoo design, showcasing a unique blend of technical proficiency and artistic flair.


Over my Diverse Professional career I have worked an array of industries. From customer service, Labouring, maintenance and then onto Tattooing. After 19 years in the industry I feel it is time for a career change. As tattooing slowed with the current financial climate I began casual labour and basic carpentry work with my father. He is a builder looking to retire in the coming years. This reinvigorated my passion for being on the tools. Over the years I have always loved working with timber, building cabinets, tables, apothecary drawers and picture framing. I have all the necessary tools besides a framing and finishing nailer.
